Letter to his wife Jennie Reed from Samuel B. Reed 156

[letterhead on top of paper] Union Pacific Railroad Office Supt. & Engr. Of Construction Boston Dec 7th 1869 Dearest Jennie The severe storm of yesterday and last night blocked all the roads leading to Boston. The members of the board of trustees living in NY and [east crossed out] other places west of here have not arrived. Nothing definite is done about my settlement and will not be until the board of Trustees meet. I may go to Burlington tonight if the blockade is raised to see Mr Canfield have forgotten his address and have none of his letters with me. Mr North arrived yesterday. I wish you were here to make your visits to New England friends while I am waiting the slow moovements of the committee. Affectionately your husband Saml. B. Reed
